It must be noted from the beginning that I put 'refugee crisis' in quotation marks because neither the number of refugees nor the challenges faced by the EU can justify the reactions of its member states (Spyropoulou & Christopoulos, 2016); not to mention that from a historical perspective the illustration of the 2014-2016 rise of asylum seekers as a 'perfect storm' cannot be justified by the facts, if compared with previous refugee and migrant 'crises' (Lucassen, 2018). The main objective of this chapter is to reflect upon the developments that occurred in Europe in 2015-2016 and have been included under the heading 'refugee crisis.' This reflection follows a twofold logic: on the one hand, I attempt a critical examination of the political responses to the 'crisis'; on the other hand, I attempt to disentangle and theorise the shifts that occurred within the management of the 'crisis,' both at the level of operationality and at the level of sovereignty. In order to do so, I focus on the specific case of Greece, since the country has been at the epicentre of the 'refugee crisis,' particularly during the period 2015-2016. In fact, crisis has for a long time been the defining term when describing any development in Greece. The dramatic increase of refugee inflows in the spring 2015 was approached from the very beginning in terms of crisis. It was also coupled with the sovereign debt crisis following the global financial crisis of 2007-2008 in two ways:

Through the concretisation of the ICEM’s services, specific administrative and operational patterns were constructed shaping part of the Western world’s ideological apparatus within the Cold War. Finally, seen through the post-war international institutional building, implicit links of the ICEM with the European integration process are researched at the very initial stage of the European Economic Community.

Precarity has also been present in political discourse and linked to specific new forms of employment (temporary, part-time, insecure, and atypical amongst others) and certain social groups often defined as vulnerable groups (youth, women, ethnic minorities). However, precarity still remains a phenomenon that needs to be quantified with the use of reliable data. The present paper aims at providing a methodology for measuring individuals that are in precarious employment with data drawn from the EU-Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS). Thus, it presents a way of identifying individuals in the core of precarity and others that belong to this set to a lesser degree. More specifically, four different levels of precarity are identified and the methodology is illustrated and tested for a specific case study, that of Greece....

Most recent studies agree upon the basic characteristics that a worker should have to be considered as precarious: insecurity, vulnerability, and no or limited entitlements. The present paper offers an innovative method that combines statistical analysis regarding the measurement of nine key indicators that are linked with precarity to a lesser or greater extend, with a rule-based expert system to rate each worker's precarity. Raw data are drawn from the EU-Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) for the case of Greece. However, the suggested method can be applied with minor modifications to the remainder thirty-four participating in the EU-LFS countries since a common questionnaire is used for all countries. The estimated indicators refer to three domains that are linked with precarity: labour market conditions and job insecurity, limited entitlements, and insufficient resources. Having estimated a precarious score for each worker, the socio-demographic characteristics of precarious workers are identified, extracting valuable knowledge on their profile.

(2022) is used to measure and monitor early employment security in Greece. The composite indicator is estimated for the year 2018 using raw data drawn from the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and is compared with its values for the years 2008 and 2016 which mark the beginning and the end of the economic crisis given in Symeonaki et al. (2022). More specifically, ten indicators are estimated to refer to three different domains capturing the entire procedure of the school-to-work transition of a young individual. The domains refer to the conditions that young individuals might face when entering the labor market, i.e., the labor market conditions, the quality of jobs that are accessible to them, and the transition smoothness when transferring from education and/or training to the labor market. The composite indicator synopsizes the many facets of school-to-work transit...

This report documents the sampling strategy, the datacollection and the survey experiment design in the four countries. In addition, some basic descriptive results from the survey is presented. The unique data set is innovative in at least three regards: First, the results from the vignette experiment allow causal interpretation and provide high internal validity. Second, the respondents are real employers who were recruiting for real vacancies, which maximises the external validity. And third, the crossnational harmonised study facilitates direct country comparisons.

More specifically, a number of different indicators capturing various domains of early job insecurity are estimated, utilizing the data behind the EU-LFS survey for all European Union (EU) member states. These indicators are then composed into a single indicator of early job insecurity, which is used to apprehend and compare the degree of early job insecurity in EU member states, during these years. The proposed indicator captures the whole range of early job insecurity aspects, such as labor market conditions, job quality, school-to-work transitions, and job security, in an overall measurement providing a way of estimating and comparing early job insecurity among different countries. The results uncover the considerable differences between EU countries when early job insecurity is considered. Moreover, countries are ranked according to the degrees of early job insecurity for the years 2008-2014.

Moreover, it has strongly been linked with specific sociodemographic groups, prominently with youth. Both theory and empirical evidence have suggested that precarity functions as a necessary step towards integration in the labour market, as a kind of indispensable rite of passage to labour adulthood. Nevertheless, despite its resonance, precarity remains a fuzzy buzzword that needs to be further problematized and evidenced. Focusing on a specific case study, that of Greece, we try to unfold a two-fold approach: to define and measure precarious forms of labour at the level/scale of the labour market as a whole and to detect and disentangle the role of age in specific sectors of economic activity where precarious labour is more prominent than in others.

The paper theorizes the matter drawing on studies in the triangle of Cyprus-Greece-Turkey i.e., the south-eastern border of Europe/EU. Mobile commons is theorized in the current context by locating these processes in the pandemic and post-pandemic era, even though the first empirical work was done during the pre-pandemic period. The pandemic brought about an abrupt interruption of what is at the core of global capitalism: mobility. During this period, regimes of exception, derogation and suspension of rights were introduced across all fields of the civic, social, and political life almost all over the world. The concept of mobile commons aims to capture dynamic processes, as an ensemble or matrix of care of the society on the move, generating reciprocity on the move and a sustainabi...

Based on archival material retrieved from the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington D.C., the Archives of the FDR Presidential Library and Museum in New York, the Archives of the IOM Office in Athens and the São Paulo State Archive, we attempt to provide a genealogy of this idea since the Interwar period and the ways in which it has materialised by governments and international organisations, namely the ILO and the ICEM.
